Won at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on the first of his three 2yo starts and back on the scoresheet on his handicap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; 4lb higher in a deeper race today but he's unexposed and his illustrious pedigree hints that he could still have more to offer.

Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative.

Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand.

Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month.

A good start to his career included a Thirsk maiden (5f, good to firm) win in August but his form tailed off (mitigating circumstances) subsequently and he was never a factor when beating one home on his return at Thirsk in April; off since.

The form of his maiden win at Thirsk last month has worked out well (5f, good to firm) and he raced away from the main action when mid-division in sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last time; however, others have more substance to their claims; below best on good to soft ground in July.

Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more.
